As Kings center Willie Cauley-Stein was driving toward the basket for a layup attempt, he was fouled from behind by Westbrook and Cauley-Stein was apparently not happy with the foul as he gave Westbrook a little shove after the play.

Westbrook took exception to the shove by Cauley-Stein and then teammate Steven Adams got involved to help defuse the situation. Cauley-Stein and Adams were each assessed a technical foul in the incident.

On Tuesday, Cauley-Stein explained what he saw during the play.

“Oh, man, that ain’t nothing,” Cauley-Stein said. “That’s Hollywood, man. You got the two [most] Hollywood dudes, Westbrook being one of them. He’s going to make it look crazier than what it really is. I just got hard-fouled and he was on me so I pushed him off and he Hollywood so he’s going to come to act [like that]. It will take more than Aquaman to put fear in my eyes. I thought it was funny, though, that they tried to muck up the game like that because they were losing so that will do that to you.”
